Pairing one of the world’s greatest sculptors with one of today’s greatest writers on art, Shaping the World tells the story of human culture from prehistory to the present through the medium of sculpture.
Practiced by every culture throughout the history of the world, sculpture is a universal art form that’s deeply rooted in the human psyche and may even predate the advent of language. In this wide-ranging book, internationally renowned sculptor Antony Gormley and distinguished art critic Martin Gayford consider sculpture as an art form related to humanity’s potential for thought and feeling, as well as to our urge to build, make pictures, practice religion, and develop philosophical thought. They take into account materials and techniques and consider overarching themes, such as space, light, and darkness.
Drawing on examples from around the globe―ranging from the standing stones at Stenness, Orkney, dating from around 3100 BCE, and the Terracotta Army in China to Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty and Richard Serra’s steel structures―Shaping the World explores sculpture as a form of physical thought capable of altering the way people feel.

It is as if this place was a filter in which all your bodily perceptions were heightened. I was aware of breathing, of the heart beating, of the sun and the shadow side of my body.”
感觉是land art能达到的最高点。 (查看原文)
“Here is an artist who understood, intuitively and intellectually, the limitations of an evolutionary historic model of art. He made something that acknowledged the age of the earth and deep time. Smithson had a wonderful phrase: "the sedimentation of the mind'-human memory as a thin and rather recent layer of experienced deposit. In his non-site as well as site-specific works such as Spiral Jetty, he tried to put progressive American technological advance in the context of geological time.
Ancient people made works on a similar scale, for example the Nazca Lines in Peru. Such works were perhaps less important for human eyes-and perhaps are not there to be understood by the human mind; the makers imagined themselves in the position of gods or the celestial Land artists such as Smithso...
